DWP beats Spider-Man movies on Disney+ hype

When a cinematic sequel hits the big screen, it’s one thing; when it dominates streaming platforms, it’s a cultural event. The Devil Wears Prada 2 has certainly achieved the latter, quickly establishing itself as a powerhouse on Disney+ and proving that timeless, high-stakes drama still captures audiences’ attention.

The sequel arrived at a moment when movie enthusiasts were highly engaged with the superhero landscape, following the massive success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Despite this intense competition, The Devil Wears Prada 2 didn’t just compete—it soared, quickly climbing to the number one spot on Disney+’s Top 10 Movies chart in the US and claiming the streamer’s overall top position.

This streaming dominance highlights a fascinating crossover appeal. Nearly two decades after the original film captivated audiences, this iteration reunited much of the original creative talent, maintaining the high-octane wit and sharp commentary that made the first film a phenomenon.

The story follows Andy Sachs and Miranda Priestly as they navigate professional setbacks within the constantly shifting landscape of the fashion industry. Their paths eventually converge at Runway, forcing them to work side-by-side despite their vastly different philosophies on journalism and publishing. The dynamic between the returning stars—Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway as Miranda and Andy, alongside Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci—adds rich layers to this familiar narrative.

Critical acclaim followed suit. The film earned a strong response from both critics and viewers, achieving an impressive 78 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes based on 343 reviews, while audiences rated it an enthusiastic 84 percent.

Beyond the digital realm, the theatrical run demonstrated the sequel’s broad appeal. The Devil Wears Prada 2 grossed a remarkable $690.8 million globally. This impressive figure includes $220.5 million from domestic theaters and an additional $470.3 million across international markets.
